Motorola Speaker Dock

Holding a tablet while using it works well for short periods, but all day use lends to hand and arm fatigue. Users who hold their Xoom in their hands look like they are in an earthquake while in a video call, and typing on a device at a 90-degree angle can become tedious after a while. As one of the most essential Motorola Xoom accessories for office use, the Speaker Dock provides for stability for video transmissions as well as for viewing videos and movies. When used with an external keyboard and the Speaker Dock, the convenient viewing angle helps make Xoom become a functional workstation.

In addition to powered multimedia speakers, the Speaker Dock provides a way for Xoom owners to show off their Xoom to everyone who comes into their office. The dock also keeps the Xoom charged and ready to go at all times, so users are never caught by surprise.

Motorola sells the Speaker Dock for $129.99.
